Summary

Cordova Meadows Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 374 students in the Folsom-Cordova Unified School District in Rancho Cordova, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools with proficiency rates significantly below district and state averages.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with only about 20% of students proficient in English and under 10% in math, creating a stark performance gap compared to nearby schools like Navigator Elementary and Peter J. Shields Elementary in the same district. While the school serves a population with high economic need and spends more per student than some higher-performing peers, this investment has not yet translated into stronger academic results, though there has been notable improvement in reducing chronic absenteeism.

Interestingly, the school shows relative strength in supporting its English Learner students, performing at the state average for that subgroup. The persistent underperformance compared to neighboring schools with similar district resources suggests complex challenges, yet the recent attendance gains and specific program strengths may provide a foundation for future improvement efforts.
